143 Wanda’s Malicious Thoughts
Even if she hadn’t lent the money, the livestream should have been hers.
With that thought in mind, Wanda rose from her seat. She couldn’t continue with the
massage.
At that moment, Ewan called her, urging her to come home quickly.
He got straight to the point and briefed Wanda on what had just happened.
Wanda gritted her teeth resentfully. “I should have destroyed her face when she left!”
Ewan frowned. “I mentioned all this to encourage you and Mom to socialize more. If she’s happy, she’ll
surely put in a good word for us with Wynter.”
Wanda scoffed angrily, “She doesn’t seem picky at all, even openly flirting with older men during the
live stream. And it’s no surprise she’s raking in so many tips; it’s all thanks to Mr. Hilton.”
Well, that explanation really cleared things up. Otherwise, she might have started to believe Wynter
was some kind of medical genius to rule the world with her miraculous healing
powers.
Ewan grew impatient. “Alright, let’s not dwell on this now. Are you going to Mom’s place or not?”
Wanda wouldn’t dare to truly upset Ewan. “Oh, I didn’t say I wasn’t going,” she responded. After all, if
she didn’t go, how else could she convince Wynter to come over?
“Hurry up then. Bring some gifts along,” Ewan reminded Wanda as he finally remembered
his mother.
When Yvette returned, she caught Ewan and Wanda’s conversation. “Mom, why are you and Dad
heading out?”
The servant came forward to take Yvette’s things and smiled. “Mr. and Mrs. Yates are going to Mrs.
Yates Senior’s place.”
“To Grandma’s?” Yvette’s eyes widened with curiosity, but then she smiled again. “Dad, Mom, I’ll come
along.”
Wanda pulled her aside. “Why do you want to go? Grandma has everything she needs; you don’t have
to worry.”
Yvette’s tone softened. “But why do you need to go, Mom? And why the rush?”
Wanda narrowed her eyes. “It’s because of Wynter. She’s stuck to your grandma like glue, and her
family is even weirder. They didn’t even bother to come get her.”
However, Yvette’s hand subtly tightened in response to her mother’s words.
“You’ve only been back for a few days, sweetheart. Make sure to dress nicely and spend some time
with Charlie,” Wanda advised as she adjusted Yvette’s hair. “Getting into the Yarwood’s circle is tough,
but if you can impress the Shepherd family, that would be quite an achievement.”
Yvette blushed and lowered her gaze. “Mom, Charlie and I have only just started getting to know each
other.”
“I’m not that conservative, dear,” Wanda whispered to her daughter. “If you genuinely like each other,
it’s okay if things progress.”
Yvette gently squeezed Wanda’s hand and bit her l*p. “Mom, what are you talking about? I’ve only just
come back.”
“Alright, alright, I won’t interfere, but just be sure you’re making the right choices,” Wanda said with a
satisfied smile. “How could Wynter even compare to you? You’re meant to marry into the Shepherd
family as their young mistress, while she’s entangled with an older man.”
It was only then that Yvette’s expression shifted slightly. “An older man?”
“I won’t delve into those disgraceful matters,” Wanda declared as she grabbed her bag. “I’m off to
check on that old lady.”
Yvette tactfully avoided asking to join them. Instead, she went upstairs and skipped her customary
favorite lobster bisque. When the servants asked if she needed anything, she just said she wanted to
rest.
With the departure of Wanda and Ewan, the house finally quieted down. Yvette reached for her phone
from the bottom drawer and dialed a number.
Soon, the call connected. “Yvette! You finally called! How’s everything over there? Are settling in? Why
haven’t you been in touch with us?”

Yvette skirted the question and whispered, “You mentioned last time that someone came looking for
her. Did you talk to them? Do you know where she is?”
